After the long awaited vacation, the last thing you’ll want to do is wait in a long line at airport security. Travel with ease with TSA PreCheck®. With a five year membership (cost $85), you’ll be able to breeze through security and don’t need to worry about removing your shoes, laptops, liquids, belts, or light jackets.

International Drivers Permits
When traveling overseas, carry an International Driving Permit ... even if you’re not planning to drive. Should you need to communicate with foreign authorities, this recognizable form of identification can help you get on your way more quickly. Valid in over 150 countries, the permit contains your name, photo, and driver information translated into 10 languages.
Before you travel the world, travel to any AAA office for your International Driving Permit. Bring your valid U.S. driver’s license, $20 USD*, and two ORIGINAL passport-type photos**.
If you prefer to secure your International Driving Permit through the mail, enclose your completed application form (found at AAA.com/IDP), two ORIGINAL passport-type photos each signed on the back, a $20 USD permit fee, and a photocopy of both sides of your driver’s license, then mail them to the AAA office nearest you. Include additional U.S. funds for expedited return mail service, if desired.
